Post Office
2.5.1Set up a full working post office system for your Minecraft SMP. Barrels act as a 1 way post box, allowing everyone to place items in, but only allowing the owner to remove them. Comes complete with a
Post Office Plugin
The ultimate mail system for your Minecraft SMP!
Turn barrels into secure, player-owned post boxes with claim functionality, protection, and notifications.
Note: Version 2 introduces a full system rewrite. You'll need to re-register post boxes. Simply remove the player’s name from the sign and follow the setup steps below.
Quick Demo:
✉️ How It Works
- Drop the JAR into your
/pluginsfolder and restart the server. - Adjust
config.ymlas needed (optional). - Build your post office using barrels as mailboxes.
- Place a sign on the front of a barrel.
- Look at the sign and run:
/postoffice register - Players can then run
/postoffice claimto claim an unclaimed post box. - Admins/mods can claim for others using
/postoffice claim <playername>
Items can be deposited by anyone but only the owner can retrieve them.
Built-in protection ensures post boxes can’t be tampered with. Prefer WorldGuard or another region plugin? You can disable the internal protection in the config.
⚙️ Default Configuration
If any issues are found in your config.yml, default settings will be restored.

🔐 Post Box Protection
Enabled by default, this protects both barrels and signs from griefing.
To disable and use an external protection system, set postbox-protection: false in the config.
